Top Oklahoma Alternative Public Schools

For the 2018-19 school year, there are 5 top alternative public schools in Oklahoma, serving 124 students.

Alternative schools aim to help students whose needs may not be successfully met in regular schools.

Students who attend alternative schools and may be at risk of educational failure (as indicated by poor grades, truancy, disruptive behavior, pregnancy, or similar factors associated with temporary or permanent withdrawal from school).

Minority enrollment is 72% of the student body (majority Black), which is more than the Oklahoma state average of 50%.

The student:teacher ratio of 7:1 is less than the state average of 16:1.

We report on the back to school campaign launched by CPS despite huge issues facing the district, including reports of school officials lying to get their children free lunches, conflicts between administrators and teachers’ union, and a lower bond rating.
